“To go further we would need parliamentary backing”.

In remarks on Thursday that followed talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, however, he said Assad could be a part of the transition process.

“Second thing, it’s an important landmark on the way to a climate change deal in Paris…” “If we wait while doing nothing then we are taking the risk of letting Daesh [Islamic State] claim the Palestinian cause as its own”, Fabius said, using the Arabic acronym for Islamic State.
